Kids Church – Q&A

What is Kids Church?

Kids Church is a free, church-run program designed to help children grow in their faith in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate environment. Each session focuses on a topic—such as a teaching of Jesus—through lessons, games, songs, and hands-on activities.

What are the age requirements?

Kids Church is open to children ages 5–17. Participants are grouped by age to ensure appropriate learning and engagement.

---

Will my child be provided with a snack?

Yes. All children will receive a snack and juice or water.

---

What if my child has a food allergy?

You will have the opportunity to list any food allergies or dietary restrictions on your child’s registration form.

Can I stay in the classroom with my child?

Parents are welcome to observe at the beginning of class, but only approved Ministry Volunteers may remain in the classroom during the session. We encourage parents to take this time to run errands, attend service, or enjoy a quiet moment.

What should my child wear?

Children are welcome to wear any comfortable clothing that you deem appropriate.

Can I bring my child if they are sick?

To maintain a safe and healthy environment, we kindly ask that you do not bring your child if they are sick or showing symptoms of illness.
